About
The website
Back in 2023, among crumbling personal projects in the messiness of forgotten directories, this website first rose as a purple page of candid creativity. Its colours were untasteful, its CSS was awful…
But it eventually morphed into a more delicate piece, which, although still novice, had a keen use of blur and transparency.
Then, after all that violet, came an illuminated era of beige in which it still remains to this day,—just as it always has been made with the same tools, and always has been available on a public GitHub repository.

The webkeeper
Born and raised in Europe, my mother tongue is not English; but an over-consumption of online content has made me fluent in the written language.
I often draw,—I have always had crayons, pencils, markers, paint, pens and other tools;—this picture on the right is a small pastel and watercolour depiction of an O.C. of mine.
2020 was the first time I have ever done programming : during the lockdown, my time on the computer vastly increased and I stumbled upon a free, basic HTML course of a few videos that allowed me to get into the world of computer science.
Most of my coding today happens either on this website or on some game project in Godot.
Another interest of mine is linguistics : this comes from back when I started learning Latin in school. Because of that, I also have extensively explored conlanging1.
The researches that I have done have led me to write and increasing number of notes. Because of this, I use more than one notebook,—a sketchbook, a diary, a bullet journal, an address book etc.,—and store in a small crate on my desk the premice of a zettelkasten2.
Conlangs are languages created by people known as ‘conlangers’. Some of the most popular conlangs are Zamenhof’s famous language Esperanto, which aims to serve as a universal medium of communication; Lojban, a community-made language whose goal is to be as logical as possible; and Toki Pona, a recently trendy one that is meant to be small and minimalist in order to not only be easy to learn, but also to force upon its speakers a more thoughtful use of words.
Zettelkasten,—German compound of Zettel ‘note’ and Kasten ‘box’, with the plural form Zettelkästen,—refers to a personal knowledge management method popularised by sociologist Niklas Luhmann during the 20th century; many resources by dedicated users may be found on the Zettelkasten website.
